Aromatic Compounds

Aromatic organic compound or aromatic system is an important class of hydrocarbons under the branch of organic chemistry. Aromatic compounds are also called arenas. The definition of aromatic organic compounds can be stated as a class of organic compounds with a planar cyclic ring of atoms bonded through alternated single and double bonds. Due to these alternating bonds, a peculiar feature termed as ‘resonance’, that is, delocalization of pi electrons or the electrons is shared within the atoms of the ring which are present in the aromatic compounds. The word ‘aromatic’ includes a Greek word ‘aroma’ which means smell, indicating that they were named as such due to the sweet odor they produce. Many well-known flavors such as vanilla, cinnamon, and few scents from flowers are extracted from aromatic compounds. Benzene with chemical formula C6H6 is a very common aromatic compound that contains six atoms of carbon held in the cyclic ring of alternate double bonds. It is also to be noted that not all aromatic compounds contain benzene ring. This can be explained by Huckel’s rule.

Question

Definition Definition Organic compounds that contain at least one double bond between carbon-carbon atoms. The general molecular formula for alkenes with one double bond is C n H 2n .

Q4 Which statement below about Sn1 reactions is incorrect? (A) SN1 reactions are stepwise and have intermediates. (B) The slow step in a SN1 reaction is formation of the carbocation intermediate. (C) SN1 reactions have first order kinetics which means only the alkyl halide is involved in the rate limiting step. (D) The products of a SN1 reaction will be a pair of enantiomers. (E) An aprotic solvent is best for Sn1 reactions as they tend to help stabilize carbocation intermediates.
